A really interesting an informative thread! Thanks to OtherMuz for starting it up and thanks to all who have contributed :).
I must admit - I myself have been focusing quite heavily on gestures recently and can see that gestures on their own do not equip me with the tools I need to build a figure. Having said that I do feel that gestures have helped make my figure poses (such as they are) more fluid and natural looking.
At the end of the day though, I believe in building solid foundations and am keen to weave the above techniques into my studies and see what happens :).
I only stumbled upon this place by chance but I am so glad I did because in the short time I've been a member, I feel like it has boosted my art up a few levels!
